damn, you haven't seen anything yet. i wish i could see it for the first time all over again. 

Yeah, been hearing great things about episode 6 so hyped to get there.

Started watching The Haunting. 

God damn amazing so far.  2 episodes in.

Are  teams having 140-point games going to become common, now?

 

What the fuck happened?

 

I can only wonder what is going on inside Greg Poppovich's head as he fields a team of scorers and watches the scoreboard go over 120 for both teams.

 

If the league is transitioning into a hyper-fast scoring style, then I hope Dennis Smith Jr and Luka Doncic can thrive in that and try to make it to the playoffs. Hopefully when Dirk comes back, he will just transition into a pure 3-point shooter.

Still early in the season. Defense will get better. 

Raps already beasting this year. Everyone saying Kawhi wasn't gonna be the same meanwhile he already looks like mid-season form (which is scary cause he isn't) and Boston is getting beat by fucking Orlando.  Still don't even have Delon to form the bench mob. 

Was at the Raps/Boston game on Friday, the place was on fire. Going to the Philly game next week too but didn't realize it was on a b2b when I bought the tickets, hopefully they don't rest Kawhi (I'd imagine they won't, but if they do hopefully it's against the bucks).

Glad to see DD doing well in SA too.

It performs better than the original.  As for you being terrible, don't blame it on the joycons.  Git gud, son.  

Dark Souls ain't even hard. I could beat that shit in my sleep even on the joycons, but I'd have arthritis when I woke up.

Maybe you guys got small jap hands.

Not if you want a portable option.

For all thsoe people who want worse performance AND to play Dark Souls on terrible joycons.

What? It's better res and solid framerates over the original. It's not like it's a downgrade. 

There's 3 far superior versions available.

 Nah it's fucking good

Yea game is easily worth $20. 

You could spend 100 hour on this.

@Ramza am I able to still do side stuff post story? It's stuff I wouldn't mind doing at some point.

Should have been delayed indefinitely. 

Yeah I'm really liking it.  

The combat is definitely a little dated but I still find it fun. You get a way to kinda skip it later on.  

The story is really where the game shines (and I consider video games to have near universally shitty stories).  Lots of good, well thought out twists. They manage the two protagonist thing very well too, especially leveraging it for reveals (one particular one that  I probably should have caught on to before it happened but it was awesome none the less).

I'm on Chapter 14 now, kinda just speeding through the main story now cause I know once Red Dead comes out I'll be too distracted to finish it. The side stuff has lots of depth (whether it be the minigames, specific side stories, etc) but I just don't feel the need to do it all. 

Game strikes a good balance between serious/arcadey.

So will normal, non skilled jobs still drug test for it?

I don't know many places up here that drug test tbh. 

If a company asked to drug test me id probably decline the offer on the spot lol. 

Just ordered a zip from the Ontario Government B).

I unno, the site is kinda lame. I was expecting better selection than they seem to have, too much of a monopoly from a few companies too. Hopefully they let more people in on it sooner rather than later. The prices are decent but I'm hoping my dispensary manages to stay open. 

Maybe 5-10 hours a week.  Probably closer to the 5 than the 10. Average at least. Some weeks I get none, couple times a year I probably get  quite a bit more (usually cause something new got me hooked and i neglect other stuff). 

I don't even have kids and shit yet, not even a pet to take care of. Kinda scary where all the time goes. At the beginning of the week it'll seem like there's a decent amount of free hours upcoming and then they just disappear. I'm pretty lucky too, since I'm able to do most of my time wasting internet shit while I'm stuck at work, so I do my best to stay away from forums/reddit on my own time. 

Fell off the Yakuza wagon for a bit but I'm back on it. Trying to get it done before Red Dead is out.

Currently on Chapter 11 and still really digging it. The story really goes places and the gameplay stays pretty fresh. I'm mostly just working through the main story right now. The side stuff is great but I'm just time constrained and I don't think I'll be able to finish before RDR if I do too much of it. Still doing a few here and there if it seems particularly interesting (I gotta do the cult one, that seems like it'll go places). 

Only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the Real Estate/Club Management side stuff. How important is that for me to get into? Can I just skip it altogether or am I missing out?

You play golf story? 

Yep. Haven't beat it though...meant to go back to that actually. 

I also wanna get through Sonic Mania but I never really enjoy it when I boot it up. I feel like I play Sonic wrong but also can't figure out how to play it right...

@Remij_ yeah the OST is just amazing. I think I'll grab Undertale before Owlboy. Seems like a good bet for me.

@Twinblade Messenger is on my list. Tbh I've just played a few too many similar games this year so I'll probably grab it on a sale down the line.

Man, I finally went back and beat Celeste...had originally stopped at the hotel part (Chapter 3). Not really sure why. But god damn, what an incredible game. Especially the second half...perfect difficulty, the mechanics are all amazing and they layer them so well. The art design pretty much gets better every chapter, music too. Had 50 berries and ~800 deaths. Probably gonna take a go at the b-sides and pick up some more of the berries. Might be my favourite of those types of platformers. Really great game. 

Need something else for my Switch now. Thinking maybe Undertale, or Owlboy. Haven't played either of those. 

Seems like the type of c-tier studio that Microsoft would have tried to purchase before this happened. 

Stories popping up.

They made shit games but apparently some people like em. 

I gotta watch S4 and S5 still. 

I fuck with it.

They need to trim the roster though. Too many shit characters in there. 

Good thing I stopped after about 3 minutes.

Here’s my gripe: snes/nes games still hold up. Ps1 games look like ass. This is a terrible idea imo. 

Yeah. The early 3D games have aged absolutely terribly. The good ones have mostly received HD remakes by this point. 

Eh.  PS1 games have aged too poorly for this to be attractive to me. The good ones have HD remasters and stuff. 

Guess I won't get anymore Beta time in. Game was great though. Undecided about getting it at launch since I don't want to play anything but the BR, might wait to get it on a discount. We'll see I guess.
